Also known as Frangipani (Plumeria rubra) or the Hawaiian Lei flower, they blossom from a tropical flowering tree nearly year round. Extraordinary in beautiful and scent, Plumeria flowers thrive in tropical climates and are highly abundant in Hawai`i. Plumeria are valued as landscape plants, ornamentals, and for their flowers. The flowers come in seemingly endless varieties of color, size and fragrance. Flowers can be strung together to make a lei which is presented to friends and guests of either gender and worn around the neck or a single flowers can be worn over a female's ear. Plumeria is related to the Oleander, and both possess a poisonous, milky sap. Plumeria flowers are most fragrant at night in order to lure moths to pollinate them. The flowers have no nectar, and simply fake their pollinators. The flowers come in gorgeous rose-pink color brushed with bronze and many other combinations of color patterns. Frangipani flowers have a wonderful tropical essence. The Frangipani flower commonly has five propeller-shaped petals with a delicate yellow center melting into the creamy white outer petals. These beautiful flowers have a rich and deep symbolism in many ancient cultures making it a wonderful choice for a very symbolic and meaningful pendant. The Hawaiians have always had a close relationship with nature and the beauty of the islands. They have always especially appreciated the ocean and the many tropical flowers inhabiting the islands. To Hawai`i, the Plumeria flower is a symbol of Spring and therefore is associated with birth and life. Plumerias are certainly symbols of Aloha. This explains why their images can be found in the logos and advertising of even the most unlikely businesses. And the fragrance? Mmmm….. If you’ve ever smelled them you would know what this means. Combining these characteristics along with symbolism of life and the arrival of Spring creates a magical formula that is essence and ambiance of Hawai`i and the Aloha Spirit. About Mother of Pearl: Mother of Pearl is the common name for iridescent nacre, a blend of minerals that are secreted by oysters and other mollusks and deposited inside their shells, coating and protecting their bodies. Nacre is the same substance that is deposited around an object that becomes lodged in the mollusk, either naturally or inserted by humans, to ultimately become a pearl. Although pearls are popular today, some past cultures regarded colorful pieces of mother of pearl as more desirable decoration for jewelry and other objects. Jewelry made from mother of pearl is in the group called organic jewelry, which includes all jewelry that originates from a living creature, plant or other living organism. The pearly lining of mollusk shells has long been noted by people living near the ocean. Many early cultures used mother of pearl extensively in jewelry, and it came to be highly prized. About Indo-Pacific White Lipped Oysters: A large species of oyster from the Pinctada maxima family, found in the waters off Australia, Fiji, Tahiti, Indonesia, the Philippines, and Japan. These oysters grow in excess of 12 inches in length and can produce a wide range of South Sea cultured pearls in sizes from 8mm to over 22mm and in colors including silver/white, pink, and cream. The White Lip pearl oyster has been valued by people in the IndoPacific region for centuries. Its shell was used for making jewelry, decorations, and tools, such as fish hooks and knives. The White Lip Oysters’ “mother of pearl” inner shell has beautiful iridescent qualities with a radiant white/off-white background color with cream overtones. This pendant is created from Australian White-Lipped Mother of Pearl shells, the same shell of the oysters that give birth to superb South Sea White Pearls. The White Lip Mother of Pearl shell is carefully surface polished to display a beautiful white shine along with its natural rainbow colored hues and iridescence. Gorgeous and very radiant in appearance! Mother of Pearl Care: Use mild soaps and water on mother of pearl to clean it, and avoid storing it with jewelry which may scratch it and wear away the luminous layers of nacre.
